Role of Facebook in social affairs

As governments around the world have been overthrown, participants carried out parts of those revolutions using Facebook.

Those who envisioned the website several years ago discussed the role Facebook may have on global affairs.

“We used to go out and get pizza and hang out and talk about how different the world was going to be,” Zuckerberg said. “It starts off with giving people the ability to communicate in ways they didn’t have before.”

There may soon be a billion users on Facebook, Hatch said.

“It’s all over the world,” the senator told SEO.com. “It’s hard to find anyone these days who hasn’t used Facebook.”

According to Zuckerberg, Facebook has even helped facilitate friendships between people in countries with “historically tense relationships.”

Some of the relationships are documented at peace.facebook.com.

“I just have to think that over the long term, that’s going to create more understanding between countries,” Zuckerberg said.

Meanwhile, he said that Facebook has also forced business owners to more closely communicate with their customers.

“You will start to see some disruption in how people relate to businesses,” Zuckerberg said. “Businesses can’t just hide behind some corporate veil anymore.”
